Post-Smackdown Rumble Odds From 5Dimes

I've just watched the Royal Rumble 2019 Go-Home episode of WWE Smackdown and have taken a look over all of the betting markets that are available from 5Dimes to see if there have been any adjustments made to them. The answer is 'Yes', so - in this post - I'll note the differences in the match markets. Before that, I'll write about a selection that has lowered in the outright winner market for the men's Royal Rumble.

The selection of note is Seth Rollins, who has once again been backed. As of this morning, The Architect is at +120 to beat the field on Sunday. The most recent price I have, from yesterday, is +150.

There are no changes to the women's battle royal. Charlotte Flair is a -160 favourite with Becky Lynch in second at +140.

The only match market that is unchanged on 5Dimes' board is the one for the Cruiserweight Championship, which is no listed as being on the event's pre-show.

Buddy Murphy is -150 to retain. His opponents are: Kalisto (+400), Hideo Itami (+450) and Akira Tozawa (+500). Those looking to bet 'The Field' to beat the favourite can find this option at +110.

Rusev's US Championship defence against Shinsuke Nakamura will also be on the Kick Off. Overnight betting has seen the punters back the champ.

+240

As you can see, the Bulgarian Brute has now dropped to -320 from the -310 he had been since Saturday. A decision in favour of Shinsuke Nakamura will now pay out at +240 - this is an increase from +230.

The Miz and Shane McMahon have dropped to -280 from -245 in the market for their WWE Smackdown Tag Team Championship challenge against The Bar. 

A win for Sheamus and Cesaro is now priced +200 - an increase from +175.

Ronda Rousey's price to get the W against her challenger for the WWE Raw Women's Championship - Sasha Banks - has shortened. As of this morning, the champ is -1,500 from -1,350 while the challenger has drifted to +700 from +650.

Becky Lynch's odds to beat Asuka in the WWE Smackdown Women's Championship match have continued to slide.

-185
+145

'The Man' is now a +145 outsider. This is a drop from the most recent +155 and even earlier +175.

With Lynch's price declining the bookies have moved Asuka up to -185. The earliest number I have is -245 from Friday morning.

WWE Champion, Daniel Bryan, remains a favourite to retain his strap with a victory over AJ Styles,

He fell from -285 into -290 overnight. His challenger is now up to +210, which is a slight drift from +205.

Finn Balor has continued to lower in the WWE Universal Championship market. As of this morning, the challenger to Brock Lesnar's strap is a +200 underdog. He was recently +220.
